- Contemporary Women’s Post-Apocalyptic Fiction conducts a close critical analysis of 25 novels that are put into dialogue with the work of a number of philosophers and theorists, including Karen Barad, Stacy Alaimo, Donna Haraway, Luce Irigaray, Elizabeth Grosz, Jacques Derrida, Adrienne Rich and Rosi Braidotti, who address concepts and issues connected to (post) apocalypticism. The literary historical contexts researched for the book include earlier writing in the dystopian, utopian, speculative fictional, and Afrofuturist traditions. It considers the religious, philosophical, economic, and political frameworks and traditions of apocalypticism.
